Apparently they never read the 1978 bell labs technical journal article on how you build commands out of lesser commands, rather than jamming all the functionality into every command. On the other hand, I've often found it annoying that the 'ls' command doesn't display 'ps' information, like it does on Linux... not. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
